All right, we do a thing every Monday on the show. We call it three-word weekend. What have you been up to this weekend? How would you tell us the story of your weekend? You've just had in three words. Text me, 0-475-03-1043. What's it for you, Rio? What did you over Easter break? Not my holiday would be my three-word week. We did a whole family trip to Tasmania.

0:39.6

So me, my parents, my sister and my two little nephews, Xavier and Cedric, who are seven and three.

0:46.9

It was lovely. That's a lot going on though. It was. It was very different to the holidays that I've

0:52.1

become accustomed to. Because you're not the star of it. I'm not the star. We don't have any kids. It's me and my boyfriend. You know, we're going to the Greek islands in July. We'll be off Galavent. Well, that's your holiday. Tasmania would have been for the kids. This was only, you have no control whatsoever over any decisions that go on in the holiday. It's like you've got two little dictators. Yeah, this is what you've done is you've taken a peep behind the curtain, what it is to be a parent. I know, I didn't like it. It's hijacked. You trip as hijacked from this point. You're just a spectator in the whole holiday. And every decision, even like, oh, I guess we have dinner at five now and like

1:29.5

instead of looking looking in broadshed near the kids table as well yeah near the kids table

I'm not looking at the good food guide or broadsheet when now we're oh do they have a kids menu

1:39.7

it's like no this is a a nice restaurant oh can't take them there said he'll kick up a stink and be screaming the whole time. I said, when do I get what I want? Not on that trip. You don't know. But isn't it great Tasmania is beautiful. Yeah, Tasmania is stunning. And just such beautiful produce, lovely people. Great wines. Oh, my God, The Pinoes. The Sav Blonks, beautiful. The oysters? My God. Yeah, about those nephews. You'll love those oysters, did they? Huh? Yes, they were. Some oysters before bad kids. Uncle Rio's got your sorted here. Not quite some that we'd have in Sydney, but it's good enough. A little bit grainy here in the Tasman's. It's Sandy. That was my one grace. I did get my oysters on the holiday, which was lovely. What was the best thing you did? Oh, Bruni Island. If you ever get the chance to go to Bruny Island, it's like Tasmania's Tasmania. It's a little island off Tasmania. Is it E-T for grownups? It's space. It's space. All right. Tasmania in space. Only 600 people live there. Oh, wow. And all there is, it's just dairies, breweries, whiskey distilleries. And you just sort of drive around. They've got it now, haven't they? That's what you want. Cheese and booze. It's the perfect island. So, yeah, you just drive around and you just drink and eat your way through the island, and it's stunning. Absolutely stunning. Patty, what was your three-word weekend?
